Just finished this and OMG it's nothing like what I was expecting. It really reminded me of The Space Between, the way the love story panned out, but it definitely fits so well into the Ghosted series. I gotta say it's been a while since I read the previous two books but love that we get glimpses of those MCs as side characters in the other books. We had a ghost, we had an exchange of bodies in a particle collision, we have a dream fulfilling watch, and I'm so excited for the next book (Wished). Sarah has seriously outdone herself, crafting these gorgeous books with the best kind of magical realism.
I adore the idea behind this book and parts of it were so brilliantly executed. This one chapter was such a rollercoaster- I was listening to it while cooking and just froze in anticipation, thankfully didn't burn my food. I wish I could say this was a perfect read, but I know it could've been executed better. See, i love the planning and plotting with the detailed characters (and there are a ton of them), the descriptions of the setting, and the pure, raw emotion poured into the story. But there were a couple of times I was super confused about the world building and took a me a good while for everything to click in place, so maybe a little bit of a pacing issue too.
Apart from this tiny hiccup, I loved this novel and hope this series never ends. I'll be sad if Wished is the last, but super happy for Max getting his HEA too.
PS: This is probably weird to add into a review, but the story reminded me of the story from the Hindu epics of Dushyanta and Shakuntala. I don't want to give away the plot of this book to those who haven't read it yet, but you can search "Shakuntala lost ring" if you're interested!
